A Better Massage

Yvette took excellent care of me. She was totally professional. Best massage I have had.

Yvette is the best massage I have ever had. I highly recommend her!

I went here for my first massage ever and Jeanne was my therapist. She was very professional and I felt very comfortable. The room was very relaxing clean. The massage felt great and I went hiking the day after and it seemed to feel easier than other hikes this season. Definitely going to go back!

Went for a 90 minute facial with Nina. It was an amazing experience! Extremely relaxing and came out with my skin glowing. Nina is knowledgeable and makes sure you're comfortable the whole time. A great treat to relax and take care of your skin!

So. I was very lucky enough to win a gift certificate to "a better massage" in Gainesville. Boy did I need it! I was recently told I have planter fasciitis, it's absolutely awfully painful to walk on my heel, after a session here, the pain was relieved for some time thankfully! I personally saw and dealt with Marlena but the entire staff here were absolute dolls! Loved it! Great experience

I got a prenatal massage there a couple months ago. While the massage itself was good and the staff member that did it was extremely nice and good at her job I thought it was very unprofessional to bring her dog to the office and into the massage room. The dog sat in the corner and was quiet for the most part but did put its paws up on the table in the middle of the massage and paw at me.

While the lady told her dog to get down she also hugged her dog because it was "so cute" that her dog was "trying to massage" me too. If she hadn't brought her dog I would be giving 5 stars but I think someone should know better than to bring their dog to their place of business and not let the client know beforehand.

I was visiting Gainesville for business and after a week of travel around Florida a massage was needed. Was able to get into A Better Massage on short notice and glad I was able to do so. Had the pleasure of seeing Rebecca who was an exception masseuse. Took the time to learn where my problems areas were and did a great job of having me feeling much better leaving than when I came in. I will be visiting again the next time work brings me back to Gainesville.

I've been coming to A Better Massage for a while now and feel that the four different massage therapists I've seen have all done a wonderful job. The therapists have always been on time, had the room cleanly prepared, and discussed what areas have been causing me discomfort before the massage. When I first started coming here it was for deep tissue work (years of desk slouching = pain in the neck).

When getting the work done you are able to let the therapist know how if you need more or less pressure. I recently had some surgery and I've had massages that really helped reduce my post surgical pain. If you're looking for a place that can focus on therapeutic massages this is the place I'd recommend.

Had my first massage here the other day - got a same day appointment which was nice, location was fine with parking, but I had a massage by Sarah and for the majority of it was thinking "it's got to be over soon" and "at some point something will feel good and be worth the money", but it didn't get better, and right when I walked out I was texting my friend how awful it was. Also, the dressing/undressing/waiting is a part of the minutes you're paying for.

Jackie and her staff really know how to put you into a relaxing state.the facilities were very comfortable. Plus I was de-stressed and ready to take on the day after a 45 min massage. I recommend them.

I drive 40 minutes to go to Jackie. She is highly professional, personable and knowledgable. She actually suggested I need a hip replacement an entire year prior to my ortho confirming it. Her back ground as a PTA makes her stand above the rest. I am a personal trainer and refer my clients to her for care. Well worth my drive when there are many other therapist very close to me.

Jackie is amazing! She gives an excellent massage. - I was new to massages just a couple years ago, but after my first massage by Jackie I was hooked! Been going to her ever since! Highly recommended!

I tried out 4 different massage therapists before discovering Jackie. I believe the difference between the others and Jackie is that she was previously a physical therapist and that training is evident in her current work. I've gone once a month for about three years and in all that time I haven't had to have any cortisone shots, back doctor visits, etc. What a difference she's made in my life!

I have been having massage with Jackie for at least 10 years.she is wonderful. I always leave her studio feeling wonderful.she truly cares for her clients. I would not ever give up massage. Massage is for therapy and health not all luxury.

I have been a client of the therapists at A Better Massage since shortly after an auto accident in 2004 that left me with a compromised disc and trauma and scar tissue around my sciatic nerve. I was referred to them by a neurologist who was treating me for those injuries, and the results have been nothing less than amazing. I normally see Jackie or Rachel.

The results of a visit are nothing less than amazing. I tend to wait until the discomfort has my back in knots from my shoulders to my butt, but they have magic hands and elbows! I might walk out feeling bruised from the deep tissue massage, but within a few hours, the discomfort is gone, and I feel normal for a few weeks. I have always recommended the staff at ABM, and will continue to do so. The entire staff is amazing. My only complaint has nothing to do with them, its that my insurance doesn't cover massage!

Went for my second time. Both were great massages but I had two different therapists and both took a while to actually come into the room. I ended up getting about a 50 minute massage when I paid for an hour. The massage was so good that I didn't mind, but they might want to pay attention to the clock.

I loves me my Rachel! I used to live in Gainesville and this was the place for my massages. When I was set up with Rach (that's right, people, R-A-C-H-E-L), I didn't look anywhere else. I love deep tissue massages and it's hard to find massage therapists who do it well (I'm not sure why either!). But she was awesome and always delivered.

I always felt slightly drunk and clumsy after my massages, which was the ultimate mark of a good massage.and had it each time, consistently, dependably, reliably (do you get my point yet?). I've suggested that my good friends and co-workers see her. If my momma were in Gainesville, I'd send her to see Rachel too. My only problem now is that I've moved away and Rachel-less and am trying to find someone else to replace her. :( :(
